Occasionally my foot spacing wasn't even on my bench, think this caused me to push a bit unevenly. I'll have to get someone to check this when I go heavy 'cause I can't see it.

Speed Pulls

8 sets of 1*120kg

The Midnight Move/Dimel Deadlifts (sumo style)

Figured I'd to these sumo style as it is similar to my squat stance.

3 sets of 8

Sled Dragging

3 sets of 4 lengths of the gym @ 100kg + change

That got the hips warm

Video

Have included a selection of my speed work, dimels and sled dragging. For my squatting I was concerntrating on keeping my knees out and sitting back. Stupid me I didn't do any side shots, next time I will. OB1 Warobi made a suggestion about foot placement in relation to the bar and it seemed to make the pull smoother.

[poos_n_wees]

Damn, nice deads and box squats! Those dimel deads look freaky.. are they like romanians but more explosive? Off to google..

Not quite the same. You only lower it to slightly below your knees by pushing your butt back, then contract the glutes rapidly. The exercise is meant to be done explosively.

ME Squat

Bleh... write off of a training session. Too much beer, too little sleep and too little food = no energy the next day.

The only thing worth mentioning is doing 3*140kg on the box squat which is a PR, everything went down hill after that.

[TheGus]

I'm suprised you trained in the morning still! I usually wait til just before the gym shuts to drag my hungover ass in there! :pfft:

Wasn't hungover just tired...

So I felt a little more energetic this afternoon so I tried some box jumping (at home)

First I did 10 jumps from a 17" chair to a 30" table

Then I did 2 sets of 10 from the 17" chair to a 32" table (put books under the table

Then for some reason I decided to try for height, and jump up to a 48" bench... not the best decision...

[Small]

is it bad that i laughed wen u fell into the table

sorry.. :shifty: poor thing but i did

[SoaringSwine]

It would be wrong if I hurt myself badly. But I think I got away with just a bruise.

[Luigi]

[SoaringSwine]
